Hello, we are considering Nancy for DD due next year. I don't currently live in Scotland but it's in the plan for the future to move there. Randomly I noticed that Nancy is much lower then the Scottish names charts than it is the English/Welsh. It's low down the top 100 in England but so near the bottom of the Scottish charts, like only 9 babies last year. I've seen variations between the two charts with other names but never so extreme. Is there a reason for this? I know Nancy can be a bit of an insult to mean like a wimpy or effeminate male but would that be why 🤔 Would like to know from Scottish people if there is something I am missing before I name her something I come to regret if we move there when she is older!
